recall there is a range of heart rate that is too low for development of heart muscle, BUT. this range has other advantages. angiogram AN-jee-o-gram angio- = vessels gram = picture inject dye do x-ray see blood vessels. angiogenesis. pictures show femur of rabbit

recall there is a range of heart rate that is too low for development of heart muscle, BUT..... this range has other advantages...
angiogram • AN-jee-o-gram • angio- = vessels • gram = picture • inject dye • do x-ray • see blood vessels
angiogenesis • pictures show femur of rabbit • note increasing amount of blood vessels over time 2 1 3 4
angiogenesisAN-jee-o-JEN-uh-sis • the growth of new blood vessels • more capillaries means more blood (and more O2) can get into the muscles faster • increase muscle potential • (you still have to exercise to increase muscle strength!) • occurs all the time in our bodies • growth factors made by body speed this up
other importance of angiogenesis • increase healing in injuries, broken bones • drugs that increase angiogenesis can increase healing • tumors “falsely” make this growth factor in huge amounts • new drugs trying to INHIBIT angiogenesis in tumors
